[Haskell-cafe] Re: Problem about hidden package again.

Just joking. But still, since gtk2hs still using the configure/make way, it is complex to add another option to the system. I tried to add array to build-depends of Cairo.cabal, no luck. Yes, it's not handy that gtk2hs can't use Cabal. But i think this is not easy when gtk2hs contain some many modules.

No, it is not. I used configure/make way. Well I just noticed that there is a "hide-all-package" options to ghc. I do not know why. Maybe the author went crazy.

Chances are the auther DIDN'T go crazy :-)

It's a common practice to hide all packages, and then only bring the ones needed into visibility.  I doubt that Gtk2hs is completely self contained, so somewhere in there is the directives that makes the needed packages visible again.  Just add array and you should be past this particular hurdle.
